Dear Customers,
We would like to inform you of a potential strike by the International Longshoremen’s Association (ILA), representing dockworkers on the East and Gulf Coasts of the United States. The strike may begin on October 1st, following the expiration of the union’s contract on September 30th, potentially leading to operational disruptions.
Possible Impact:
- Cargo at affected ports could remain stationary until the strike is resolved.
- Vessels en route may be diverted to alternative ports or returned to their origin.
- Additional costs may arise from rerouting or delays.
Many shippers are currently exploring alternative routes via the West Coast to minimize potential disruptions.
We are closely monitoring the situation and will provide updates as new information becomes available. Should you have any questions regarding your shipments, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Best regards
your fs freight service Team
